Best of the BEST South Florida Fun
Want to know what's great for families around South Florida? Trust other parents to tell you. That's what we do at South Florida Parenting every year when we compile the Kids Crown Awards. Our readers pick the winners and we write about them.
South Florida Parenting's annual Kids Crown Awards issue, featuring the best places, activities and experiences in South Florida for kids and families, is available now.
This year's issue also features 109 inductees into the Kids Crown Hall of Fame, places that are honored as the Best of the BEST. How did we come up with 109 Hall of Famers, you might ask? Well, that was how many places have won Kids Crown Awards at least five times in the past 10 years. Many of the Hall of Fame honorees have won every year.
There are also 137 other winners — all nominated and chosen by South Florida Parenting readers — in five categories: Family Outings, Family Eating, Family Shopping, Children's Activities and Important Matters.
Check out the winners online, or pick up your South Florida Parenting magazine at Toys "R" Us or wherever you usually find it.
